Aging Our Way Oklahoma  

"Aging Our Way Oklahoma" is a robust 10-year plan to enhance the quality of aging in Oklahoma. This collaborative endeavor is spearheaded by CAP in partnership with other state agencies, tribal nations and private sector partners. The plan is supported by trained community ambassadors who share the progress and opportunities of the plan. 

"Aging Our Way Oklahoma” prioritizes 10 focus areas with specific goals to meet the diverse needs of aging populations in rural, suburban and urban areas of our state. The objective is to expand and improve access to vital services for aging Oklahomans, including wellness, transportation, social connections and caregiver support services.
